I have been on vacation this week which is always nice. This wasn't really a relaxing vacation though. We had 4 college visits for my daughter scheduled which are actually very time consuming. I took my daughter to three of the visits but stayed home with the dogs and a book for the college that is out of state. My daughter will probably end up going to the school that is about 3 1/2 hours away but we feel like we need to check out all of the possibilities.

It has rained almost every day during my vacation. So we have had a muddy backyard and 3 dogs that are stuck in the house because they do not want to get wet to deal with most days which is just a lot of fun. The sun did come out on Friday and I hope it decides to stick around for a bit.

I hope you have good luck finding a college. My yard is full of mud too. My dog wants to go outside, but then doesn't want to stay because he doesn't like to be wet either. I hope you have a great week ahead.

Ugh, this rain has been driving me crazy! Then with our dogs, one has no problem, doing his business in the rain, the other doesn't like it. He keeps coming to do the door without doing anything! It's frustrating to get him to go! Lol! Glad the college visits went well! Hope she gets into her first choice!

Nice new read! Total new to me one but I hope you love it once you read it!

College visiting can be daunting, so good luck with all that. :) Hope she finds a great place to get her schooling. It's cool when they have choices I had to just go to the school nearest me as I couldn't afford anything else. lol

You are so lucky your daughter is looking at so many school's in state. I had to drive to Boston, Pittsburgh, and Syracuse, when my daughter was doing visits. Hated it! I hope you get to Bittersweet, that series is so good.

Those college visits are definitely exhausting but hopefully she picks the right one. I have one at a school 5 hours away and it does make things a little challenging at times. She had something go out on her car that my husband could have easily replaced but she ended up having to take to a shop which costs about 3x as much. At least we have a mechanic we like there! Staying at home with a book sounds heavenly! Glad you enjoyed your vacation even if it wasn't particularly relaxing! Have a great week!

My daughter is looking at a school 3.5 hours from home. We looked at a more local school and I pointed out to her that she could call us for help if she were there a lot more easily. I have a feeling that I will need to find a mechanic in Kentucky!

From the moment Josie laid eyes on sexy, mysterious Shane Dean, she was in love. Their desire ignited a passionate affair, and within weeks, Shane had slipped a ring on her finger. It seemed her every fantasy was coming true . . . until her new husband disappeared without a trace. Now, two years and one broken heart later, Josie is shocked by the hospital calls: Shane has been found . . . at a crime scene with no memory of how he got there.

Her Love Can Save Him

Shane can't remember the blue-eyed angel at his bedside—or who he even is—but he knows something isn't right. His hearing is razor sharp, his physical strength incredible, and the urge to protect Josie overwhelming. For powerful enemies are hunting him, and Josie is the key to disc…
